    Ben, I really like the "feature" of seeing the points on hover. It would help to know at a glance if the comment is from a "regular" here on your site. Actually, as an enhancement, possibly doing like some message board systems, where you have different levels associated with diffe... read more »

    Ben, This thread sure has gotten a lot of mileage! Sorry, but I think I am going to do a bit of a hi-jack... On the subject of CTRL+Left/Right Arrow movement, I have actually been a Textpad user for a long time. It is a really simple text editor that handled text in way that make... read more »

    Alf, Thank you for taking the time to give such detailed responses! I will try to digest a lot of the reading material this week... I guess I was a bit hasty in my example of start/end dates of employees. you are correct, that is obviously potentially 1 to many... I guess a... read more »

  • Alf Pedersen On NULL Value Usage In Database Design

    Posted on Nov 21, 2007 at 12:29 AM

    Wow Ben, you get enough comments, you were bound to get some spam! lol Also, I think you must have a timeout on your comment entry screen as every time I type a long comment, I submit it and get an error and I have to resubmit. Is this on purpose to try to prevent some of the spam some... read more »

  • Alf Pedersen On NULL Value Usage In Database Design

    Posted on Nov 20, 2007 at 8:33 PM

    Alf, I would be interested to hear how you would implement David's scenario above. Lets make it a bit simpler for discussion. An application has a data entry screen that allows the user to input data into 10 fields that all have a 1-to-1 relationship with the primary key for the re... read more »

    @Ben, I know I can speak freely on your blog, I just wanted to preface what I was saying so that I wouldn't come across as attacking or anything. Thanks again for all the work you do on this blog. You tackle a lot of issues, so it is great to open dialogs into these things! @Alf,... read more »

  • Alf Pedersen On NULL Value Usage In Database Design

    Posted on Nov 20, 2007 at 11:30 AM

    Ben, I have posted before in disagreement over the concept of NULL in the DB. I know everyone has their own viewpoints, and I am not really posting to argue good vs. bad. If we all thought the same way, the world would be a pretty boring place! but... I cannot let some of the thi... read more »

  • Fixing DIVs That Cause Content Truncation When Printing

    Posted on Jul 23, 2007 at 8:19 AM

    Ben: Just glancing at it, I would guess that what is happening has to do with the overflow hidden definition... If your outside div is set to 500px wide, and the only thing inside it are div's, what is the reason for having the overflow definition at all? In any case... print style... read more »

  • ColdFusion 8 CFImage Write To Browser Bug?

    Posted on Jun 19, 2007 at 11:58 AM

    I thought that writetobrowser was to be used to send a single image to the http stream in place of an html page, so why would you use this tag more than one time in a given page? Or did I misunderstand this tags functionality?... read more »

  • Testing ColdFusion Session Cookie Acceptance

    Posted on May 29, 2007 at 9:44 AM

    Ben: I didn't explain that very well. When I forward the user to a new application, I pass URL variables so that the next app can determine who the user is... usually just a hash of their userid (plus extra text), or using Encrypt/Decrypt... So once the user gets to the new app, I... read more »
